come for love come for love there is no reason to be shy shy guy come for love you don’t need to feel unsure anymore come for love give in to love there’s no reason to be scared of what’s in ya head give in to love you don’t ever have to wait to kill the hate come to love it started in a shameful dream before it was all fantasy now you know what you can bring and it changes everything you know come for love you don’t even need to hide what’s locked inside come for love you can break out of your shell you might as well?

Fire In Me 04:22
fire in me there’s a fire in me there’s a fire in you locked inside burning through there’s a burning bush on the mountain side and a humble word to testify there’s a fire in me there’s a fire in you and it’s gonna go on until we do something wrong

I'm A Bird 03:43
i’m a bird in a dream here is the scene i’m a bird soaring free from up here all I can see is people rushing where they need to be i’m a bird people come into your life then they leave I believe it’s the way you can cling or you can learn not to yearn for them anymore i’m a bird when you die some people say you hover over your body to see you look down at all your friends or anybody who attends when you go

Australiana 04:03
australiana australiana doesn’t mean the same to everyone some people don’t like celebrating every setting sun clive palmer is no farmer but he understands their plight he stays up late at night to make sure his message is right australiana people better wake up soon some people stop and ask you where you really did come from they’ll look in the eye and tell you it’s not possible the Politicians sailed off to an island in the sun we didn’t let them back because they were not genuine australiana people better wake up soon

bogan death machine in the bogan death machine on the road and in the scene comes to kill against your will in the bogan death machine can you hear it roaring by fly by night against the sky super sonic in your face searching for another race in the bogan death machine a donut is another world spinning out our tyres melt kissing at the waters edge watch the ripples all converge wishing we had gone too far it doesn’t matter anymore in the moment we took a risk we didn’t think of consequence in the bogan death machine through the week we must pretend the highways not our only friend people don’t appreciate the freedom to accelerate when we met we didn’t know the feelings we could not control in the bogan death machine we find out what love really means
8.
Turn It On 03:56
turn it on hey, can I come over listen to your records read the liner notes the way we do scrutinise the small print watch waves through the speakers zigging and zagging around the room we have had a few more than one or two your bedroom’s an arena smaller though i don’t like to linger you can tell It doesn’t feel right doesn’t mean that I don’t like you anymore turn it on feels like I’m underwater and I really really oughta push away that big old undertow get up on the surface live a life of purpose take a breath and keep on wondering

Hide The Sun 01:03
hide the sun hide the sun from everyone

smoke signals 2 smile said the button on the side of her bag that rode on her shoulder as she walked drawn from it a compact, eyeliner and a packet of indonesian cigarettes fragrance sweet like candy floating up and all around her she’s swaying like an ancient thurible under streetlights and cathedrals with their rocket ship steeples on her way to some place I can’t say and every time she lights one up she sends a message to the stars above smoke signals in the night from the bottom of his glass he could see her gently pass as a tiny graceful figurine he is sitting on the porch where they used to kiss at night to the music of the city’s traffic drone and every time she lights one up she sends a message to the starts above smoke signals in the night was is something that he did that has sent her on her way or maybe something other he’s not sure could he find out what it was could he put his finger on It could he read her smoke signals in the night and every time she lights one up It sends a message to the stars above smoke signals in the night

let’s get together nothing lasts forever in this kind of weather come on let’s get together start at the start when it all falls apart come on let’s get together forget what you see when you look at me come on let’s get together when the world is dark let’s strike the spark come on let’s get together cause we’re not even close come on let’s get together cause we’re better as one come on let’s get together

about

The Fire Set is the 4th album from Basement Spaceman, Melbourne’s purveyor of highway width art pop. Building on the eclectic back catalogue, ‘The Fire Set’ leaves behind any trace of lo fi sensibility by presenting a layered sonic template, powerful synths, menacing vocals and a library of classic guitar tones.  The artistic vehicle for Eltham based songwriter Andy Brown, Basement Spaceman brings elements of dream pop, psych rock and unique storytelling.
‘The Fire Set’ is an exploration of primal themes, lust, love, hate and hope. A spark in the dark that digs deep and demands multiple listens. There is a space in this music that provides a floating quality or out of space, out of mind experience.
